Kaysun's Injection Molding Insights Newsletter | July 2024

All eyes will soon be on Paris, and over 10,500 athletes, for the Olympic games.

For the first time in history, France is also hosting the Paralympic Games. Nearly 4,500 Paralympians representing 160 countries will compete, and about half of them will use high-tech prosthetics. Did you know these assistive technologies are partially the result of combining advanced additive manufacturing and injection molding processes?

I’m proud that Kaysun is part of a global industry that can support making Paralympic Games dreams come true for these athletes.

I’m looking forward to cheering on all of Team USA! Our engineering team knows something about teamwork, too. Scroll down for more on how we’re helping our partners gain a competitive advantage through Design for Manufacturability (DfM) expertise and more.

Design for Manufacturability (DfM) Can Help Promote Sustainability

The goal of DfM is to proactively design products to optimize all facets of manufacturing. DfM analysis helps find and correct project impediments that may result in costly rework.

This is a big first step in helping to protect the environment from the impact of excessive scrap. However, a closer look at DfM principles reveals the process contributes to a more sustainable future in several ways.

When applied by trained and experienced engineers such as those on the Kaysun team, DfM principles:

• Optimize materials selection and substitutions to explore how more sustainable materials might be used to reduce environmental impact
• Reduce energy consumption and material waste by optimizing process parameters and simplifying tool design to efficiently use resources
• Consider the entire product lifecycle to understand how front-end design could influence end-of-life disposal, such as developing solutions to make product disassembly easier for recycling
